Audrey Crespo-Mara’s life has completely changed since the death of her husband, Thierry Ardisson. The 50-year-old journalist confided in Laurent Baffie about her sometimes difficult mourning.
It’s been a year since Thierry Ardisson left this world, after a long battle with liver cancer. He left behind three children, Manon, Ninon and Gaston, born from a previous union, and Audrey Crespo-Mara who shared the last 15 years of his life. She is still devastated in the face of this immense loss. One detail is missing in particular…
Audrey Crespo-Mara, embarrassed by Thierry Ardisson? “We look at you strangely”
The Man in Black was known for having a colorful personality! “He was super funny, Thierry. That’s what I miss. Not only the love we had for each other, which was crazy, but how funny it was “, said the widow of Thierry Ardisson to Laurent Baffie, on the microphone of his podcast Colonoscopy. And to regret: “The days are no longer the same“.
But the host, often prickly, also took pleasure in embarrassing his wife on a daily basis. He who believed that each person represented an animal (for example, he compared his wife to a doe) recognized himself in the personality of a bear. “And so, at any time of the day, in the restaurant, in the street, he would act like a bear (….) It was to make me laugh and to embarrass me“, said the journalist.
A habit which bothered Audrey Crespo-Mara all the more when they were on vacation abroad: “If we see Ardisson acting like a bear in Paris, we say to ourselves: ‘Well, it’s Ardisson, he’s funny…’. But abroad, no one knows him, so people look at you strangely when your boyfriend starts acting like a bear in the street“.
Audrey Crespo-Mara, still in contact with the children of Ardisson?
The man in black, who died at the age of 76, also had fun provoking his friends and the rest of his entourage. Even Laurent Baffie remembers that, when they were at the restaurant, the late presenter of Everyone is talking about it did not hesitate to take out cigarettes “quietly“while smoking has been prohibited in these establishments since 2008.”Thierry couldn’t stand that his freedoms were being infringed upon, that his freedoms could be constrained. All you had to do was say something to him for him to do the opposite.“, added Audrey Crespo-Mara, nostalgic for the freedom of spirit of her late husband.
Today, the one who leads the “Portrait of the week” on the show Seven to Eight remained very close to Thierry Ardisson’s children. “We see each other a lot, we talk a lot. There isn’t a day that goes by without us exchanging messages. For my birthday, Gaston said to me: ‘We are so lucky to have you in our life!’ Manon and Ninon sent me: ‘We love you, we love you very much!’ It feels so good“, she recently confided to Paris Matchspecifying that they would always stay “welded“.
